Lately my account shows the “can’t be shown to non-followers” warning, and posts keep getting flagged even after I delete them. Followers still engage normally, but my reach is tanking for no clear reason.
Has anyone been through this and actually fixed it? Should I just keep posting and wait it out, or is there something I am missing here?

Sounds like a shadow reach hit. Post consistently, avoid anything borderline reach should slowly recover over a few weeks.

It might be an algorithmic restriction. Try reviewing your recent content for potential triggers and focus on high quality, safe posts gradual recovery usually follows.

I think your best bet is to keep posting content that people enjoy and engage.

Give the account a short reset, avoid anything that might trigger the system, and keep posting clean, consistent content while letting the algorithm naturally lift the restriction.

Go to account settings and check under account status. It will show you if there are any posts that have violated the TOS. Remove those and the account should be fine.

Reach drops but followers still interact normally. Usually, this is a sign that the account is temporarily restricted due to previous posting history, even if you have deleted it. My experience is to keep a stable posting rhythm, avoid content that is easily flagged for a while, then the reach will gradually recover

deleting posts continuously or editing too much also causes the system to keep the restriction longer, so it is best to keep a stable posting schedule and let the account cool down a bit. I don't know if there is any clear trick, but I think in this case, you mainly have to wait for it to remove itself.

This often happens when the account is still being held back by the old violation, so the system automatically limits its visibility. You can temporarily switch to posting safe content, reduce the frequency a bit and increase normal interactions for a few days so that the algorithm can re-evaluate the account.

It looks like your account hit a soft visibility limit, so scaling back any repetitive actions and cleaning up hashtags can help stabilize things. Most people recover faster when they slow activity for a few days and resume posting with safer, more original content.

I have also received this warning before ("Can't show to non-followers"). This usually means that your account has been temporarily restricted if you continue to post in the same environment that triggered the tag, the tag will usually last longer. If you clean the device/fingerprint reader, like antidetect browse ,the markings may be removed.
